CALIFORNICATION

I am now back from Cali and what an amazing trip that was! I went between LA and New Port Beach (Orange County). I was so busy with everything that I didn't have time to take many pictures. Bare with me though, I did get one outfit post in a back alley, and a few Instragrams.

I ate a lot, it was like I was Italian or something, all I craved was pasta and wine and then some more wine. I shopped a bit (not as much as I wanted to, but you know my Visa card can only take so much) I am sure you all can relate to that. I found this bomber jacket in a vintage store and I went crazy when I saw it, I love the print and obviously the colour. Also I must warn you, you will be seeing me wearing these cyclist shorts from American Apparel a lot, I am currently obsessing over them, they rock!I didn't take that many pictures with my iPhone, but here are my favs. Follow me on Instragram: melissaaraujo07

this is indeed the perfect find! it fits you so well - personality and shape! and i love the print. and your biker shorts are definitely hot - i could never pull those off though. glad you had fun in california - i'd like to be there now!

Love the instagrams, your hotel looks gorgeous! Glad you have an amazing time & extremely jealous! The bomber jacket is amazing too, such a great find & I love the sporty styling with the cycling shorts!

I know I love her too, but my inspiration and obsession with cyclist shorts came from living in Barcelona, girls there at AA didn't care much for chiffon mostly cyclist shorts. They made it look cool!! xx

I've started 2017 in a positive manner, I used this past week to break some old habits; my goal is to allow growth and to be a better version of myself. Needless to say, this wasn't easy but I am committed to breaking these habits, one at a time. I stand by the mantra "mind over matter", using willpower to do things you may not think you're capable of.

Here is a rare occasion of me braving the cold without a jacket, to show this double dose of femininity & texture. In fashion whether you're you are a maximalist or a minimalist, my tip to you is to build your outfit around one striking element. An accessory, a colour, a cut or material - you can have more than one element but keep in mind that "less is more" and more is actually more.

My striking element here is colour. I wanted to start the year with bright whites, white is the epitome of Summe…

Whenever I talk about starting afresh, going back to basics, I always end up in black jeans, tees, leather jackets, and sneakers or black boots. Some may find it boring, not me. I’ve come to realize you should always dress for yourself and do whatever makes you feel confident.Now and then you can mix things up, choose something that will pop against your all black outfit; this is where shades of different colours or textures come in to play. Here I am experimenting with new silhouettes, mixing colours, textures & layering to survive the cold weather. Thanks to this chunky knit by THPShop I can stay warm & stylish at the same time.

From season to season, year after year, black pieces have always been the essential building blocks of my style. It is no secret that I am a fan of black. It is a reliable section of your closet that never lets you down. For any occasion or crisis, black will fufill your needs, make you look effortless and fashionable. It is my go-to option - no doubt, when you shop minimal pieces you end up being timeless. What is your go-to colour when it comes to building your wardrobe and making styling decisions?
